Business Items

The Forestry and Biomedical Science Subcommittee Consent Agenda appended was approved.
Some of the changes proposed by HHP have current pre-med advisors across campus
concerned. The Pre-professional Exercise Science degree has been used to some extent as a
pathway to Physical Therapy. The changes seem to imply a transition to pre-med. Medical
schools prefer students to have a traditional undergraduate degree, with over half having a
degree in Biology. The current program includes a lot of science so could conceivably be an
existing alternative major for students applying to medical school. The request to change the
option title to Health Science was withdrawn. The subcommittee has scheduled a meeting next
Monday with the requester as well as others with concerns.
The concerns with these proposals made it apparent, that although the Administration sees
opportunities to expand into areas related to health. There lacks coordination at the curricular
level (course transfers). The deans of the various colleges involved in Health Issues – Colleges of
Biomedical and Health Science, Education and Human Sciences, and Missoula College are
discussing the possibility of creating a common core as a means to recruit more students. After
completion of the curriculum review, the subcommittee proposes to establish a workgroup with
addition members (Professor Uchimotto and Associate Provost Lindsay to start) to open
communication and focus on the curriculum and programs.
Several of the program modifications for Medical Information Technology require signatures
from other affected programs. Follow-up is also pending for AHXR, NRSM, PHAR, and WILD
courses.

The Science Subcommittee Consent agenda appended was approved. There was concern that
the SCN rubric does not exist on the CCN course guide. There are six courses in this rubric that
continue to be offered at UM, but have never been transitioned to CCN. These are
interdisciplinary science courses. Associate Provost Lindsay will need to discuss the issue with
OCHE.

The following pending items from the Humanities Subcommittee were approved. Revisions to
the European Studies Minor proposal as well as a course form for the required Introduction to
European Studies will be submitted prior the end of the semester.

The revisions to the Crosslisting Policy (201.45) were discussed, edited and approved. Hopefully
the revisions will resolve some of the confusion and clarify the constraints imposed by common
course numbering.

Procedure
Crosslisting
Procedure Number:
Date Adopted:
Last Revision:
201.45
11/26/85
11/10/15
Approved by:
Faculty Senate
A cross listed course must have a primary course and a secondary course. Only the primary
course can appear in the Office of the Commissioner of Higher Education’s (OCHE) Common
Course Numbering (CCN) Course Guide. The secondary course cannot appear in the CCN
Course Guide. Only the primary CCN course rubric and number will show on the student’s
transcript.
Cross listing is no longer used as the primary means to advertise courses in a department different from
the instructor; rather programs should list courses in other rubrics as accepted requirements or electives.
New rubrics may not be created solely for the purpose of crosslisting. Duplicate rubrics such as LIT and
ENLT for example in the course schedule might distract and confuse students. Current students are not
familiar with the rubrics used prior to common course numbering.
The rubric for the secondary course cannot appear in OCHE’s CCN course guide.
To qualify for consideration for cross listing, a course must:







be requested by both departments or programs;
count as credit toward an existing major, minor, or certificate program;
not be experimental or have a reserved variable content course number (x90-X99)
must carry the same title and course description for both parent and sibling courses and, if
possible, carry the same course number;
be implemented within comparable course levels, e.g., both must be (U), or both (UG), or
both (G);
contain the phrase “same as” the cross listed course, e.g., “same as CCS 445;”
be offered under an existing rubric.
A course may have three cross listings only under extenuating circumstances. Under no
circumstances will a course have more than three cross listings.
Rationale:
Cross listing serves UM students by providing easy access to a wide range of courses.
Crosslisting fosters the University’s commitment to interdisciplinary education and enhances
small programs by promoting their classes. However, it is expensive to maintain. Thus,
departments requesting courses to be cross listed must provide a justification that addresses the
following:




External requirements that justify the cross listing and provide documentation.
Explains how cross-listing is the most effective method to offer this academic content.
Identify how both the primary and secondary units contribute to the cross-listed course’s content
and how cross listing Contributes to the collaboration between respective units’ missions of
serving students.
Identify additional reasons for cross listing such as a specialized need for advertising to
prospective students, shared resources across departments (equipment, space, instructors, etc.), or
mutual contribution to course content.
